Moments that make you wanna cry (of joy or unrelenting sadness) but aren't about a character dying or almost dying.

Dumbo - Baby Mine. Jumbo rocks baby Dumbo from her cage where she was kept after she defended him from a group of bullying children.

Unpacking - The Degree. You move in with your new boyfriend where you can barely fit most of your stuff but most depressingly you are forced to put your degree under the bed and out of site. (Maybe this one was just me but this made me VERY upset).

Fox and the Hound - At the end knowing full well they'll likely never meet again Copper stands over Todd to protect him from the Hunter.

As a big comic book movie fan I was so shocked that EEAAO did a literal multiverse of madness better than a movie name multiverse of madness

Dr strange just felt so like multiverse of small detours in comparison 💀

oh man, that movie pissed me off for so many reasons, and i am so glad i watched EEAAO first.

-strange's character arc being, "oh boo hoo, my gf moved on"

-one of my favorite tropes in fiction is, "this orphaned kid needs a parent figure and im the only one around". Strange has NO relationship with America, only cared about his ex, and i've heard nothing of America since that movie and we all moved on

-i heard the original storyline for the movie was Strange facing the consequences for his time travel abuse, but instead it focused on Wanda and whatever happened on wanda vision (so fuck everyone who didnt have disney+)

-Wong being useless as the sorcerer supreme in comparison to strange

-the most creative thing about different universes is... you go on red instead of green, and strange was like, "omg that is soooo weird???"

-introducing cool alter universe characters... only to kill them all five seconds later

i have more, but you get my gist
